He can just use a lot of cacti.

Wouldn't those be something like new caltrops? Cactrops that are hidden but sprout when someone is about to step over them?

If only

The Shicibukai mentioned at the end of the chapter could either be:

1. Someone completely new to the series that filled in a vacant slot

2. Doflamingo. His power is pretty slicey and the whole just legs that can talk thing is part of his ability.

3. Buggy powered up over the timeskip and can now chop-chop other people


Doflamingo is problematic because that means the victim still has will to control his bottom half. Last time he cut off a body part anyway it was just dead meat, and I don't see that changing. Three seems likely but that might be wishful thinking on my part...

He copied Franky.

How could he? Luffy Never saw it, as he was on a different sea train at the time

GoatLord posted:

My guess is either Buggy is well aware that he doesn't stand a chance in hell of getting there, or One Piece isn't a treasure in the gold-and-jewels sense and Buggy knows it.

I've had this as my pet theory for awhile about One Piece. The only other possibility all depends on when he left Gol D. Roger's pirate crew. Did he ever make it to Raftel or did he go his separate ways after getting his Devil Fruit Powers? I remember him having a conversation with Shanks after Roger's death but my memory is fuzzy.

Since these guys seem to be putting people to sleep, I'm willing to bet that the guy's devil fruit is sleeping gas and puts people to sleep who are around them, so that's why they are wearing the suits.

So what we are going for is I ate the Chloroform Fruit, I'm a Knock-out man!

Also at first I hated Franky's new design, Mainly because I missed the hair (drat that do is styling on him) But this storyline has helped me out considerably in warming up to his changes. STRONG RIGHT and ULTIMATE FORM were amazing

Surprised at Law becoming an Shichibukai... Didn't expect to see him anywhere near the entrance of the New World.

Interesting times are coming... can't wait to see what they do.

Ninja edit: whoops forgot the close that spoiler off. Hope no one saw that.

My memory is fuzzy on the whole war but I think I remember Sengoku freaking out over a bunch of dangerous prisoners escaping Impel Down. If I'm remembering right, then Law could've hunted them down, presented their hearts and got the offer to be a warlord.

Your memory is fine, and it was probably a way to keep things on the down-low so the government wouldn't have to officially announce their release to the people and lose more face. Just find them, kill them, and hide them wherever. Don't let them be seen again.

Best moment this drat arc so far? HEY! HEY! FRANKY HEY! HE'S A TANK BUT HE'LL STEP OUTSIDE FOR FLOWERS (pianissimo!) SSSSSUUUUUUUPPPPPAAAHHHH

Also sanji at the top... Priceless...

I don't believe so, seastone makes them feel weak as if they're being impacted by seawater. They wouldn't be able to do anything like swim feeling like that.

Correct. Just touching it acts like you are submerged in water. It drains devil fruit users of their power. Depending on how much is present or how it is crafted, it can also just restrain or nullify powers (as in the handcuffs at Enis Lobby or the nets used on Buggy in Lougetown). The reason Smoker isn't affected by his weapon is the sheath neutralizes the power and keeps it from touching him and when it's out, it's at the far tip of the weapon only, way out of reach for it to have an effect.

The anime also removed the first meeting with Aokiji, which was a great ending to the Davy Back Fight.

Wait what? I know for a fact Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro got their butts handed to them by Aokiji shortly after their encounter with Foxy in the anime.

Oh shoot I just realized, Usopp's face is on Sogeking's Wanted Poster now!

I don't understand how the Marines could make such a silly mistake.

They didn't get a good look at his face from the looks of it, only captured part of his profile, not a full on his face. Could be that the nose tipped them off that it could be Sogeking

Also... Sanji's face is STILL not revealed. his hair is in the way... At least it's not a lovely drawing anymore

EDIT: Someone asked about who is in that picture in the paper Looks like Hancock. Might be that they are informing readers of a connection between these individuals listed and Luffy

Was rereading the Luffy/Ace/Sabo Flashback arc and came across something weird. I don't think this has been brought up either...


Django?!

The guy in front looks like him after he took over the Black cat Pirates, but the man behind him has the same Micheal Jacksonesque pose. Maybe reading to much into it though...

Actually, the guys to the left of the Django-alike kind of look like Siam and Butchy, Kuro's strongmen who Zoro fought. Huh.

... drat it I knew they looked familiar as well but couldn't place it. This just raises my suspicions. Thanks for that.

Also this chapter reminded me how Sanji used to be my favorite character and is now probably one of my least favorites.

Yeah, he becomes so grating lately... At least in the east blue and early Grand line the antics of his were toned down, but seriously, last arc's hook on Sanji actually dieing of a nose bleed just hurt to read.

...Then again, without it we wouldn't have had such a touching moment with Jimbei and Luffy so I'm torn over all this.

The Question is, Will Luffy and Chopper complain about the Government's error with it's Wanted poster. Obviously Sogeking is not Usopp!

Didn't Oda say Daddy should've been canon, but he wanted to make the 100th chapter the one where the crew enters the Grand Line?

Yeah in an SBS I believe he did say this. Because of this you lose some Yasopp/Usopp Character development, a bad assed shot, where the hell Usopp got his goggles, and a spoiled brat character.

Kinda breaks even with the last part actually (she is so annoying)... It's cool to consider canon but it's not necessary.

(Or that's what I would say if I had access to a console that could play it. As it is, I'm doing my best to ignore how awesome it looks.)

Not with you on this... Options for both would be preferable. I love both groups (Original cast and Funimations) interpretations and would play through both just to hear all of them.

At this point we have to take what we can get, the One Piece brand is effectively dead in the US.

When the game is released and if it actually gets marketed enough (viral or traditional) it might respark interest in the series. Either way buying it can't hurt and I plan to gift a few to some friends in hopes that they spread the love as well... A man can dream

Luffy doesnt give any shits about the Four Emperors.

If Blackbeard is an emperor and Shanks is still one then he cares about half of them. May be different motivations but Blackbeard is on his poo poo list for sure, after what he did to Ace. Sadly, he's got to be the strongest of them all by now and probably still way to strong for Luffy.

Not since Arlong, I haven't. And that was so long ago.

Most of the villians in this series are highly punchable. Hell, Even good and neutral guys fall into this category, but pretty much all villains do. Once we got to Captain Kuro, The prick switch was flipped into overdrive.

Personally If he was real, I'd want to smack Wapol from one side of drum island to the other. He really gets to me

Picked up One Piece: Pirate Warriors again after a long break when my PS3 died on me. Just got to the end of Water 7 and God drat does that Merry Send off still get me.

That and the Usopp fight was also amazingly transferred over. The fact that Usopp could only really do chip damage to Luffy was a nice touch.

I think it'd make sense if he was a really absent minded inventor that drops projects on a whim whenever a new idea catches his attention. This is the second lab full of stuff he started but never finished that we've seen, after all.

I can also picture a man like spandam making demands on Vegapunk. Immediately when his research shows results, he causes him to go on to the next job without fully implementing it or fully researching the consequences of what it can do. That or if he's working on something promising he gets shuffled on to the next project. Vegapunk might not have a choice either because he wants to finish his heating project for his island and they are stringing him along. Of course this is all speculation though but just a thought.

Now that Sengoku is in semi-retirement with Garp, I hope he's laughing his rear end of just as much as Garp when new news of the Strawhats doing crazy poo poo hits the papers.

He never seemed to be the type to do so. Garp was always an oddball, even in the cover arc he was out there. That and being that it's his grandson doing it and making an impact, he can't help but admire him.
Sengoku is probably not pleased. As the straight-man, seeing his organization and post screwed over by reemerging factions and internal squabbles he's probably frustrated.

Also was Sengoku's name like the Admirals? Is it a code name? I can't remember if it was ever revealed.
